Wong fitment

At big car events there are always a few rides that I realise I never pay enough attention to until after the show, especially when there is so much awesomeness in one place at one time! After the Nationals comp there was one car that really stuck in my mind, so over the weekend I took a trip down to Hamilton to take a closer look at Anthony Wong’s immaculate ’97 EK sedan.

Seeing the custom paint in the sunlight made a huge difference to the overall appearance of the car since last time I saw it under dark artificial lighting. This is definitely one of the cleanest Civics I’ve set my sights on.

It only took Wong 7 or 8 years of jerking around to get the car to how you see it here today. At one stage he threw in the towel and even sold it to someone else, but last year he had a change of heart and bought it back, finally finishing what he started. The main thing I really enjoy about this build is the attention to detail and the quality parts that have been put into it. Everything has been replaced, repainted and re-done and it really shows – this photo will give you some idea. Mad props to Wong for doing things once and doing them right. It was worth the wait!

Nice Honda. Is Wong Fitment Crew supposed to be a parody of Wrong Fitment Crew?

I’m not one for Honda’s usually, but this is an amazing piece of engineering and hard work. I’d even say it deserved best Honda at the show. I wish more people out there would put this sorta effort in, instead of just slamming a big bore and some cutties in.

And congrats on the build Anthony, when I saw it when we picked up the engine crane, it was still way off. Good man

ABOUT FATLACE

Born in 1999, Fatlace initially started as a blog about the elements of hip-hop, with roots in music, break dancing, and graffiti. In addition to the hip-hop lifestyle we grew up on, cars is a collective interest among the Fatlace family and was inevitably incorporated into our web site. Fast forward and Fatlace has evolved into what you see now, and we are still continuing to grow.

Fatlace found its first home in San Francisco’s historic Japantown, where it remained for several years before closing. This bittersweet end allowed us to focus our attention on the Fatlace Paddock in San Mateo, which now serves as our headquarters and flagship location.

At first, the Paddock seems like your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids up to no good, but stay a while and you'll discover there's more to us than what is on the surface. You'll soon find out the diverseness within our team and the details that set us apart from the usual street boutique. Be sure to also check out Illest, where we've set up shop in both Los Angeles and Honolulu. If you can't make it out to any of our shops, there's always our online store where we carry all of our latest products.
